Template for the n-less plural form of Luxembourgish nouns
[edit]When a noun ends in a mute -e, it gets a diaeresis in the n-less plural forms, to indicate that this -e is pronounced in the plural, e.g. Orangë, Garagë, Passagë, etc. Can someone please create a template for this? This affects a whole range of Luxembourgish nouns of French, German or English origin: Batterie – Batterië sammelen, Biografie – Biografië schreiwen, Chance – Chancëgläichheet, Kopie – Kopië maachen, Rallye – Rallyë fueren, Homepage - Homepagë maachen. The diaeresis also appears in the n-less plural form of masculine nouns that do not end in a mute -e, but have a feminine counterpart that do. In this case, the diaeresis differentiates the n-less plural of the masculine noun, e.g. Clientë [ˈkliɑ̃ːə] ("customers" [male or gender-neutral]), from the singular of the feminine noun, e.g. Cliente [ˈkliɑ̃ːt] ("customer" [female]). Further examples include: Employéë (masculine n-less plural) vs. Employée (feminine singular), Enseignantë (masculine n-less plural) vs. Enseignante (feminine singular), etc. Thank you!
